UNITED NATIONS: Taking a swipe at Pakistan, India today said the land of Taxila “is now host to the Ivy League of terrorism” and attracts aspirants and apprentices from around the globe.
Exercising India’s Right of Reply to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s “long tirade” about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir, First Secretary in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Eenam Gambhir made a strong rebuttal.
“What my country and our other neighbours are facing today is Pakistan’s long-standing policy of sponsoring terrorism, the consequences of which have spread well beyond our region,” she said.
Gambhir said India sees in Pakistan “a terrorist state” which channelises billions of dollars, much of it diverted from international aid, to training, financing and supporting terrorist groups as militant proxies against it neighbours. (AGENCIES)
